Sam Pee Yalley, a prominent figure in Ghanaian politics and diplomacy, has passed away at the age of 67. His death occurred on Sunday at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, though the cause remains undisclosed.

Mr.Yalley, a seasoned lawyer and public servant, held various high-profile roles throughout his career, most notably serving as Ghana’s High Commissioner to India from 2014. Appointed by  President John Mahama, Mr.Yalley was a respected diplomat who strengthened Ghana’s ties with India during his tenure. He also played a significant role in the National Democratic Congress (NDC), serving as President of the NDC Professionals Forum, an organization dedicated to fostering professionalism within the party.

His passing has drawn tributes from several leading figures in the NDC, including Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, who expressed his condolences on social media. “I learned with great sorrow of the passing of my brother and friend, Ambassador Sam Pee Yalley, an astute statesman and a respected member of our party,” Speaker Bagbin wrote. “His contributions to the NDC, particularly in promoting professionalism in politics, will be greatly missed.”

Before his diplomatic appointment, Mr. Yalley held key positions, including Deputy CEO of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority. He was also an ardent advocate for female leadership and gender equality in Ghanaian politics, a cause that earned him widespread admiration.

Mr.Yalley’s legacy as a dedicated public servant and passionate advocate for political integrity and gender equity will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on Ghana’s political landscape.
